FAIR-EASE Open Day on Open Science for Earth Systems

About FAIR-EASE

Earth system domains are interconnected, but the present digital architecture is based essentially on distributed and domain-dependent data repositories inducing real difficulties for integrated uses of all the environmental data. This creates barriers for several studies with large societal impacts, such as climate change, agriculture and food, human safety and health. 

To go beyond this state-of-the-art, the overall objective of FAIR-EASE is to customize and operate distributed and integrated services for observation and modelling of the Earth system, environment and biodiversity by improving their different components implemented in close cooperation with user-communities, the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) and research infrastructures.

About the event

To mark the third annual meeting of the European INFRAEOSC FAIR-EASE project, the coordinating committee will be organising an OPEN DAY dedicated to Open Science for Earth Systems (Volcanoes, Soil, Water and Biodiversity).

The goal of the morning session is to raise awareness and increase cooperation between national initiatives and the European landscape and ecosystem, but also discuss how to improve interactions, synergies and training among all actors involved: Policy makers, Scientists and Private Sectors.

The panel of the afternoon session is composed of expert scientists from FAIR-EASE to provide practical examples oriented to oceans and coastal environment management, land degradation and volcanic risk, as well as biodiversity assessment by omics approaches, in the framework of sustainable goals and Open Science. We hope for active participation from all interested people and fruitful open discussions on all the topics proposed.

Overall, the final day's activities will underscore the importance of collaborative efforts in tackling open science challenges and demonstrate the practical benefits of FAIR-EASE services for the Earth Science System.
